This document provides the Indian Standard (IS) design criteria for reinforced concrete bins used for bulk storage of granular and powdery materials. Some key points:
1) It covers the structural design of circular, polygonal, and interstice bins.
2) It defines important terminology used for bin design like bin loads, granular materials, powdery materials, etc.
3) It outlines the notations used in the standard for parameters like bin diameter, wall thickness, reinforcement area, load calculations, etc.

5.8 Effect of Temperature Variation - Bins containing hot materials
are subjected to temperature stresses. The thermal stresses and the corresponding additional reinforcement shall be calculated and added to the
reinforcement of the bin walls. The following assumptions are made for
computing the temperature stresses and the additional reinforcement:
a) The tensile strength of concrete is neglected, and

between points of different elevations and the effect of wind on
temperature may be neglected ).

5.8.2 Stresses due to Change in Temperature - Bending moment across the
bin wall due to change in temperature may be computed according to the
following expression:

Thermal stresses in concrete and steel due to the bending moment MA T
shall be calculated according to the~principles of mechanics.
5.9 Effect of Shrinkage - The influence of drying shrinkage in concrete
may be considered as being equivalent to a drop in temperature of 15%
( in a structure with more than O-5 percent reinforcement ). The effect of
shrinkage may be ignored in all parts of the bin that are not affected by
the disturbance due to restraints at the edges. The effect of shrinkage
stresses in the region of disturbance due to restraints at the edges shall be
considered and addirional vertical reinforcement shall be provided to take
care of the same.
